Pedro Florimon led the way by going 3-for-5 with three RBI. He homered and doubled twice. Xavier Avery and Brandon Waring also homered.
But the Bowie pitches had all kinds of control troubles, walking 12 batters overall, a big reason the Aeros left 17 on base. Armando Gabino (0-1) gave up the winning run in the ninth.
